Recipe Introduction

Pearl wrote: "This is an old German recipe. For years, my mother bought these from a local lady with a thick German accent and she said this recipe had been passed down for generations. I once tried to make it in a conventional cheesecake spring form pan, but it didn't turn out very well. It seemed to change the texture of it and the creaminess is part of what makes it sooo good. If you like toppings, just make your favorites. I like it plain. This is a foolproof recipe. It takes time because of cooling it, but it is worth it and all the steps are simple.
